For three years, Karen followed the path many of us know too well—copying workouts from social media influencers, training seven days a week, sometimes twice daily. Despite her dedication, the results she desperately sought remained elusive. More concerning, she found herself constantly tired, dealing with low energy throughout the day, and battling persistent aches in her lower back and knees.
“I used to work out a lot, seven days a week, sometimes twice a day. I saw people on Instagram, they worked out a lot and I thought I could be one of them. But, I realized that no matter how much I worked out, I didn’t really get the result I wanted.”
Everything changed when Karen joined ATP Personal Training and began working with her coach, Kelly. Instead of exhausting herself with endless workouts, she discovered the power of training smarter, not just harder. Under professional guidance, she learned proper technique and developed a more focused, effective approach to fitness.
The results speak for themselves. Training just three to four days a week—far less than her previous seven-day schedule—Karen achieved what years of excessive training couldn’t deliver. Her newfound strength and confidence are evident in her achievements:
From struggling with improper form to confidently deadlifting 60kg with perfect technique, Karen’s journey showcases the importance of proper training. Perhaps her proudest achievement? Finally mastering pull-ups—a goal that once seemed unattainable.
Beyond the physical changes, Karen experienced a complete shift in her energy levels and confidence. No more constant fatigue or self-doubt. Instead, she found herself feeling powerful, energetic, and sure of her abilities in the gym.
"I am stronger. I can feel that I'm more powerful"
Karen’s journey highlights a crucial lesson for anyone on their fitness journey: the importance of professional guidance. As she puts it, “Find a professional. I spent too much time on the wrong routine and the wrong journey.” Three years of following influencer workouts couldn’t match what she achieved in just months with proper coaching.
"I would say, find a professional. I spent too much time on the wrong routine and the wrong journey."
